My logs don't seem to support that. Here are consecutive lines from auth.log: Nov 24 17:13:05 ns sshd[72333]: error: PAM: authentication error for user from localhost Nov 24 17:13:06 ns last message repeated 2 times Nov 24 17:13:41 ns sshd[72340]: error: PAM: authentication error for user from 10.75.200.249 Nov 24 17:13:45 ns last message repeated 2 times Nov 24 18:41:37 ns sshd[58083]: error: PAM: authentication error for user from example.com Nov 24 18:41:39 ns last message repeated 2 times Nov 24 18:57:20 ns sshd[58148]: Accepted publickey for user from 10.75.200.249 port 52111 ssh2 Nov 24 18:58:12 ns sshd[58174]: Accepted publickey for user from 10.75.200.249 port 52612 ssh2 Nov 24 18:58:45 ns su: user to root on /dev/ttyp3 Here, "localhost" appears to come from my hosts file, as dig -x 127.0.0.1 returns a different result. example.com appears to come from reverse DNS, as there is no reference to example.com in my hosts file. 10.75.200.249 is an IP which does not have a PTR record and is not in my hosts file. Telnetting to the ssh port reveals this version string: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.2p1 FreeBSD-20050903 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
